A false linking to dashboard in the sidebar after upgrade

Description

I have two blogs with version 2.6.3 both are upgrade to 2.7 beta 3.
Now if I click on 'Dashboard' on the sidebar the link is */wp-admin/admin.php?page=index.php and so nothing is show on the dashboard only the sidebar and header.
On a clean installation of 2.7 the link is */wp-admin/index.php

This is caused by an index.php file existing in the plugins dir. We don't ship with one by default. I can see people wanting to prevent a directory index via an index.php file so we should play nice with it.

I had the problem with the link after upgrading to 2.6x It wasn't great, but the workaround to use the address line worked.
Now after upgrading to 2.7 the workaround didn't help. Therefore, I tried your solution with the index.php in all directories, where only a index.php for safety reasons exist I changed the index.php to an index.html.
Unfortunately, it did not help. I've still no content in the dashboard except the menu...

In the meantime I figured out, that these are two problems which don't effect each other.
The index.html helps to get the right page.

No content in the dashboard had nothing to do with that instead the problem was an additional function was not closed before starting to work with the content. Repairing the function and also avoid for the future that its not closed before starting everything else, worked for me.
